But there really isn’t — and shouldn’t be — a comparison here.

Now, if Providence were offering something like $8 million a year to coach and a $20 million NIL budget, then that’s a different conversation. But that isn’t reality.

If the packages are even remotely close, he’s not choosing Providence over Syracuse. Say Providence can put together $12 million in NIL, and Syracuse has $11 million. He’s not going to pick Providence in that situation, especially when he’s been pursuing the Syracuse job for two years. That just isn’t logical.

For Providence to actually win that battle, the package would have to be so far beyond Syracuse’s that it changes the equation entirely. And if Providence truly had that kind of financial package available, they could probably attract a bigger and more established name than Hodgson anyway.

On top of that, Syracuse is a Power 4 program in the ACC and one of the top basketball programs of all-time despite recent history, and Providence simply isn’t operating in that same tier
